ASK SALLY ANYTHING

[Carsman]

MaggotSally I know you have probably said this but whats the best way to hard boil eggs so the shells come off easy?

I find the way they come off the easiest is to run them under cold water as soon as they are done, let them sit about 2 minutes and then peel them under running water. If you let them sit too long after cooking they become harder to peel.

I'm not Sally but,

Put the eggs in a pot with cold water covering the eggs about an inch, on the stove, then turn on the burner.

When the water boils, boil the eggs for "13" minutes.

Then drain the hot water out of the pot, leave the eggs in the pot, cover the eggs with cold water, and add a bunch of ice cubes on top, let sit for 7 or 8  minutes.

Then take an egg out of the water, and whack the fat round end of the egg "once" against the side of the kitchen sink.

Then whack the pointed end of the egg "once" against the side of the sink.

Then whack the side of the egg against the sink till the cracks go from top to bottom.

Now enjoy the easiest peeling of the egg. (If you do it right, it works every time, the shell comes off in big pieces) Your welcome.
